First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Overdrive Interactive.
PPC Specialist
It was a pretty straightforward interview, I met the team in person and we talked about the day-to-day tasks and client work. They asked about my experience, what I'm capable of, and if I could handle the job. They also tested my knowledge of the tools and work processes.
- Given a specific industry for a client, how would you structure their ad groups?
Paid Search Specialist
The CEO reached out to me and invited me for a zoom interview. Overall, the discussion was positive. They asked me some technical questions regarding Google Ads; I couldn't answer some questions because I was too nervous about speaking. Three interviewers were really nice to talk to me about the answer and how I could answer their questions. I can tell that they tried to comfort my nervousness while staying their professionalism. I felt terrible that I did not prepare well for this interview since Overdrive Interactive's missions and values inspire me. I genuinely enjoy the conversation with their CEO and hiring managers, who can literally help you grow and rethink.
- Can you tell me about XYZ on your resume, and could you answer some technical questions about Google Ads?
- Could you elaborate on your experience with XYZ and answer some technical questions about Google Ads?
Ad Operations Specialist
The interview process involved a presentation, a math skills test, and then a meeting with two people for a presentation and a formal interview. I felt good about it, but then the hiring manager ghosted me after I followed up via email. It seems unprofessional to make someone prep a 5+ hour PowerPoint presentation and then not even send a courtesy email to let them know they went with someone else.
- Can you share a highlight from your career?
- Imagine you have a client. What would be your proposed digital advertising plan, and what would you want to know from them to create it?
Account Executive
The interview process at Overdrive was surprisingly quick and easy. I spoke with four different employees and got an immediate job offer. This really should have been a warning sign. Overdrive seems to hire almost anyone and then just see if they can make it work. Be very careful if this is a place you actually want to work!
- They asked a tricky critical thinking question: 'How many gold balls could fit in a bus?'
